Prednisolone duration/dose
Has anyone read about an on going case against one of the big multi-nationals , an American patient is suing both her doctor and the chemist (here in England ) for braech in the duty of care . The pharmacist dispensed the steroid according to the GPs instructions but failed to make any appropriate interventions ( the patient got a very high dose hence is now battling with cushings syndrome) she is suing for £2m at the high court
.. don't know what to say ..all I can say is that as pharmacists we are not just pill counting professionals we need to be mega careful.. I have no doubt that you guys are anyway
